I changed the oil myself after about 1200 miles just because i like doing it however the bike which is an 11 ABS had used non and i have just had to top up with the smallest amount after a further 1000 miles so it must just be certain bikes as this is the third blade one an 06 and a 08/09 and this 11 with no issues at all. Out of boredom last night i was looking at bikes on Ebay from the BMW to the RC8 Gsxr 1000 ect and must state that the blade is the best looking of the lot and only the R6 coming near.
Agreed about being the best looking, especially the 09 HRC's, those are sweet! Too bad i can't find any of those here!
